So what're the chances that gen 10 is just another braindead, hand-holding, emotionless slog? Where all characters are base level, cookie cutter anime archetypes (this guy likes to eat, this girl likes to sing, this girl wants to be friends, this guy always gets lost) who are emotionless, expressions and have no voice or nuance? Where the story amounts to a barebones outline they've been recycling since the first gen? Where your main character is essentially a blank slate, even more so than other jrpgs? Where a shitty gimmick is introduced that's only included to try and make the games feel unique, when really it's just there to introduce new forms for old pokemon. (Gigantimax, mega evo, Z-moves) or some pointless side activity that provides no value and is mind numbingly boring (curry, camping, sandwich making)? Or how about a barely thought out "new battle type" that isn't fun or different enough to matter, (flying battles, underwater battles, rotation battles) Will there still be absolutely zero spice to the story? Where everyone just wants to be friends, and the only conflict arises when the evil team decides to try and control the legendary pokemon for their own profit, and our dead-eyed protagonist must befriend said legendary to save the world? And the "open world" won't just be a series of hallways where pokemon awkwardly pop in from two feet in front of you, or float around in a circle with no animation? That won't be the case right?Pokemon is the highest grossing franchise in the world so surely it will be something new and different, right?
>>58784683But don't worry, you'll find the child characters attractive so you'll be happy with it.
>>58784683>So what're the chances that gen 10 is just another braindead, hand-holding, emotionless slog?as long as Ohmori is still director, 100%
>>58784683Same game different region
>>58784683literally 100%they'll jack off for 1 year and 10 months then make the game in 2 months like ZA
>>58784683How would you judge it from the prototypes info we get from terra leak?
>>58784683Look at it this way. If you're that disappointed, you might lose interest in the franchise altogether. It's a good way to cure yourself of the disease known as being a Pokémon fan
>>58784683>Where all characters are base level, cookie cutter anime archetypesYou mean like the water-type gym leader who is a swimmer?
>>58784683>gems aren't a gimmickStopped reading there.
>>58784683Ask yourself, do Pokémon fans have even the most basic standards? Of course, you already know the answer and what to expect
>>58784683I want to believe that ZA's reception will be a wakeup call for TPC. That, and the overwhelming positive reception of Palworld. ZA is selling, I have no doubt about that. With its pitifully small budget, it's impossible for them to not turn a profit. It's not selling as well as they want it to, though. The only way my faith in this franchise will be restored is if they DON'T announce Gen 10's release date to be anywhere in the next two years. This is the tenth installment. It's a golden opportunity to revitalize their decaying franchise. They CANNOT let this be another blowout.
>>58784683Imagine a guy being around since the 3ds and still asking this
>>58784683Nintendo is currently going full retarded with open work bullshit.No franchise is safe from this nonsense, at this point I'm expecting something stupid like Arms world tour or open world Splatoon with fuck nothing to woomy about.No dungeons in Zelda, No exploration through items unlock in either Zelda or fucking Metroid, pokemon without house interiors or dungeons outside of 5 exceptions and the literal finale of one game, driving in a fucking straight in Mario kart.I think only DK came out alright and I feel it lost the well designed levels it had in the wii era for this, they are going full Ubisoft some good shit will come like Rayman legends but deep inside you know you are never getting Rayman 4 because there's no one that can make it justice on how fun 3 was. That's how much confidence I have in both Nintendo and game freak.The gay ass image in your thread is proof faggots still thread open world as the potential genre, with all the vague shit they wanted in their childhood but without any fucking idea of how someone will design such clusterfuck of nonsense without devolving into towers , markers horrible maps, yellow paint and all the bullshit that spawned from a genre made to appeal to retards worse at games than 6 year old japanese kids.We ain't seeing a good game this decade, the leaks people are posting online only prove how retarded game freak is to top it all off.
>>58787360>donkey kong and rayman aren't garbage
>>58787359It's rhetorical.
>>58787322>It's not selling as well as they want it to, though.In Japan, it's been the best-selling Nintendo Switch game of the year>The only way my faith in this franchise will be restored is if they DON'T announce Gen 10's release date to be anywhere in the next two yearsYou're crazy if you think they won't release a mainline game for the franchise's 30th anniversary>I want to believe that ZA's reception will be a wakeup call for TPCAnon, I really want to share your optimism, but time and again Game Freak has proven they couldn't care less about Western criticism
>>58787360But Donkey Kong wasn't open world at all. It is just a normal 3D platformer.
>>58784683To add - >The designs for trainers and pokemon will be even more outrageous and ridiculous>"Our most ambitious game yet" said in the Pokemon Direct, footage will show only slight improvement>JPG textures>Still minimal character creation>More stalls instead of buildings.
>>58784683Everytime GF tries to innovate, the outcome is even worse, so I don't mind this at all.
>>58784683Kek they're copying palworld now
